Late Bloom

The fog rests on top of a field nestled up against a secluded road, two individuals stand side by side as they survey the land. Francis, (43, Black man) is accompanied by his partner Kiko, (40, Asian woman). Together they retrace the steps of Francis’ memory at the place where his home once stood. Francis seeks to express how the effects of childhood trauma have permeated into the present day, ultimately affecting their relationship. Through their togetherness they work to unpack these suppressed emotions in a way that’s conducive to furthering their growth.
